Environment Project Officer, GIS Officer, and Information Management Assistant with The HALO Trust Cambodia (2024)

Report to: Programme Officer

Role Objective/Impact:

Develop HALO Cambodia’s project portfolio under Goal 3: Build resilient and prosperous communities with environment and development actors.

Role Summary

The Environment Project Officer will be responsible for developing HALO’s environmental project portfolio through the identification and securing of partnerships, seeking funding opportunities, monitoring, reporting and evaluation of projects. The Project Officer reports to the Programme Officer. The ideal candidate will have experience working in the environmental sector in Cambodia, with experience in project design, project management, and environmental management. They will have a thorough understanding of wildlife conservation, biodiversity conservation, and the climate change context in Cambodia. Knowledge of mangrove conservation and mine action would be an asset.

• Essential:
• Bachelor’s degree in environmental management, Environmental Science, Conservation Biology, or related field.
• Minimum of 4 years of experience in environmental project management or related roles. Thorough and demonstrable understanding of the Cambodian state (national/local) mechanisms for environmental protection and conservation, and climate change strategy.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to effectively engage with diverse stakeholders.
• Proficiency in project monitoring and reporting, including data analysis and information gathering through survey.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment, as well as independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• Skills & Knowledge:
• Proficient in Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) and other relevant software applications.
• Languages: professional working proficiency in English; fluency in Khmer.
• Familiarity with project management tools and methodologies.
• Ability to interpret and analyse environmental data to inform decision-making and project evaluation.
• Understanding of environmental monitoring and evaluation principles.
• Knowledge of mine action would be an asset
• Values
• Moral courage ‐ to do the right thing (that which stops, prevents, or denies any opportunity for wrongdoing), whatever the conditions, or pressures. Physical courage – putting yourself in harm’s way to protect/ support others ‐ is implicit and there are circ*mstances where it could be required.
• Discipline – to put the cause before self‐interest; getting the job done thoroughly and to the highest of standards, whatever the temptations, or reasons not to.
• Integrity – to uphold the right moral and ethical standards. This includes honesty, reliability, consistency and judgement and it includes speaking up for what we believe in.
• Respect for others – to treat others as you would expect to be treated (whatever their race, gender, or sexual orientation); understanding and considering the needs and expectations of others and respecting their opinions and feelings, even if you don’t agree.
• Loyalty ‐ loyalty to each other, the whole team and to HALO’s purpose and ethos; loyalty transforms groups of diverse and disparate individuals into a cohesive and effective whole and it is therefore central to our organisational success.
• Selfless commitment ‐ putting the needs, safety and security of others (and of the organisation) before your own.
• Standards
• Lawful. We must comply with the standards expected of us by our own SOPs, by donors, the Charity Commission, UK/ US/ EU law and the laws of host‐Countries. Where a host‐Country has laws which are different to UK/ US/ EU, we must ensure that we uphold the laws which correspond to our values, while respecting (and without compromising our relationship with) the host‐Country. We must operate within the spirit, as well as the letter of the law – where there is ambiguity, we must have the integrity to comply as is intended, rather than choosing to manoeuvre around legislation.
• Appropriate. We must behave as we would wish others to behave towards us – in a decent, respectful, consistent and considerate way. Where circ*mstances require robust leadership it must be provided (and accepted), but ‘appropriate’ includes having the professional and personal fortitude to call out behaviour which is not.
• Professional. Professionalism defines HALO’s reputation. It is underpinned by our values and standards and involves the highest levels of competence and safety and the relentless pursuit of excellence, whether conceptual technical, or procedural. The agile application of lessons‐learned is an essential component of professionalism.
